Organization
The Central Carolina RESA (Regional Education Service Alliance) was created to provide educational services to school systems in the central region of the state in an efficient and collaborative manner.
The governing board is comprised of superintendents of the member school systems. Councils in the areas of curriculum and instruction, finance, human resources, technology, public information, and principal leadership operate to promote job-alike cooperation and collaboration.
The executive director is responsible for carrying out the duties assigned by the governing board and reporting to the superintendents on issues facing the State Board of Education, Department of Public Instruction, General Assembly, and allied organizations including NCASA, NCSBA, state universities, community colleges, and other agencies working in the field of public education.
The Central Carolina RESA has the largest number of schools and students of the eight RESAs in North Carolina. It is headquartered in the North Carolina School Boards Association’s building at 7208 Falls of Neuse Road in Raleigh.
